Semi-retired Custom painter/Artist/Designer from Hayward, Ca.
I have worked the "Goodguys" Pleasanton Shows for many years, and friends with The Meadower's family.
While working the "Stripers Bash" last year at the fall show, and Harry Davies comping me to display my 09 HHR-SS-many mods-2.0 Turbocharged-325 H.P., on Sunday decided to see what ole "4 Play" would do on the autocross.
Only got to do two runs, but went quicker than I imagined, and was hooked.
Guess the crowd liked it, as Harry and others, wanted me to come back again this year, and run again. I had a ball, and this time have it set up, to maybe run quicker. Think I'm about the only "Little Motor-High H.P." car out there.
Most people don't know about the HHR-SS, as only 9000 were producted.
It's quicker than it looks, and a real hoot to drive. Looking forward to running the Autocross again in a few days, while working the show also. "Moon"- "Moon" Designs

Here are a few pics. of ole "4 Play" in the current state.
Later will be adding a front splitter, and a custom made rear diffuser.
SS has Pedders suspension-TTR 1 1/4" extra rear sway bar-Trifecta tune-Givonna 18"x8.5" wheels-TTR solid engine mount-Maier Racing scoop[cut back], custom made CAI, and other goodies. 2.0 Liter[122 c.i.] Turbocharged-Direct injection-intercooled- 325whp as of now, with 26 lbs. boost. It's a real sleeper. Hauls the mail, and corners hard[when I can keep it hooked up, due to major wheelspin.
Going to do "Goodguys" autocross June 4-5, for some fun.

Bummer! The way the weather is looking for this weekend "Goodguys" show, there probably won't be any Autocross. I'll be there anyway, doing the Stripers Bash, but really wanted to some Autocross. Oh well, November show. "Moon"
